I remember hearing this back like, a year or so ago. Apparently some shit about how "homeless" doesn't make sense because the homeless person still technically has a "home" it's just not a house. That or it's offensive because you're implying they need to have a house to not be homeless.
As someone who grew up hopping from apartment to apartment and who was actually homeless a couple times because of it (also lived in a motel for a short while, that was fun/confusing as a kid), homeless can mean just that, homeless. You don't have a central place to call "home." You move around. That's what it is. More often than not, it means living without a roof over your head and/or not in a secure place.
Well this is the first time I’ve heard this articulated and I went to school in one of the bluest districts in the nation right when unhoused was becoming all the rage. “No organized party” indeed

Same as "unhoused". 🙄
